“The Supreme Court has been firm and resolute so far regarding pre-election cases and Election Petitions. I commend their lordships.”
“As a party, we have to look at our own internal party mechanisms that make us give our victories needlessly away to the opposition and take appropriate actions.”
It is interesting to know that, the Supreme Court had on Thursday, February 13, 2020 in a unanimous judgement led by Justice Mary Odili sacked David Lyon as governor elect of Bayelsa State over Degi-Eremieoyo forged certificate presented to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
